The teabaggers are starting to take on Republicans and their first target is Lindsey Graham. Now, after voting to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court and expressing a willingness to build a compromise approach to clean energy legislation, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appears to be the new target of tea party activists. At a […]
I just read this on Think Progress: “These individuals came all the way from Southeast Texas to protest the excessive spending and growing government intrusion by the 111th Congress and the new Obama administration,” Brady wrote. “These participants, whose tax dollars were used to create and maintain this public transit system, were frustrated and disappointed […]
Another GOPer feeding the lunatic fringe, and this time it occurred about 10 miles from my house. Schmidt’s district is next to mine and I have heard a lot of people complain that she wouldn’t hold a townhall on healthcare for OH-02. Instead she decided to come to OH-O8 and talk to people at a […]

Alex Knapp over at Outside the Beltway: Let’s call the “tea party” and “going Galt” nonsense what it is: unprincipled partisan hackery. If these were truly principled protests, they’d have been around all through the Bush and Republican-controlled Congress years, too. Alex has put together an interesting set of observations about the whole “tea party” […]
While I am sure the Republicans are more interested in the pornographic nature of the publication, as a recent survey suggests, Playboy is also good at investigating stories.

For years this has been my picture of choice to describe the right: Today I must replace it with this gem from yesterday’s “tea party” protests the wingnuts held For those not familiar with the term “teabagging”, please click here when the children aren’t around, then be thankful that those brave Bostonians weren’t opposing a […]
